Node circular generation dialog
This dialog is used to generate a circular arc of from a selection of three nodes.
Opens when the Circular Generation tool is selected on the
Node ribbon tab in the Edit
group.
You must select
three nodes not along a single line to define the plane and radius of
the nodes to be generated.
- The first node you select is the center of the circle.
- The second node selected creates a vector with the first node perpendicular to the circle (i.e., the axis of the arc).
- The third node is the starting point of the arc and thus determines the radius of the arc.
The new nodes will lie in the plane of nodes 1-3 and perpendicular to nodes 1-2.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Nodes | Type the number of nodes along the circular arc. |
| Total arch angle | Type the angle of the circular arc, in degrees. |
